Representing Alexandria, Arlington, and Fairfax

Mark's Bills

I believe constituents have a right to know what their elected representatives are up to, particularly with regard to legislation they introduce. I plan to uphold what I call the Gold Standard of Transparency by directing my staff to video-record the proceedings on each of my bills as they come before subcommittee and committee. That way, every constituent can know exactly what was said and done on each of the 20 or so bills I introduce.  Scroll down to see my bills for the 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016 sessions.

Discrimination; prohibited in public accommodations, employment, credit, etc (HB 1050)

Will bolster our current non-discrimination protections in employment and public accommodations. I am pleased to say that I have been working closely with Attorney General Mark Herring on this bill, and it has his full support. No Virginian should have to accept discrimination or less than full equality.
